sLrDrnG LOCK.

Application led March 27, 1924, Serial This invention relates generally to locks, having more particular reference to a lock in which a bolt is secured in locking position by a number of padlocks, the invention hava novel and improved lock of this type.

For'further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to` the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth. y

Fig. 1 of the drawing is a side view showing my improved loc-k applied to a door.

Fig. 2 is a face view.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view thereof, taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.`

Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view vtaken on the line 41-41 of Fig. l.

Referring new to the drawing, the reference numeral l10 indicates ya hollow guide member or casing through which a bolt 11 extends freely, this Amember having side flanges 10 formed with suitable apertures to receive fastening screws 12 whereby the member is secured on a door to which my improved lock is applied, a portion of the door being indicated at D. A like casing element 10a is secured as by screws 12 to the door frame F. This bolt is bifurcated at the rear end thereof to form a pair of hinge eyes 14 between which engaged a hinge element 15 on the rear end of an elongated rectangular frame member 16 which fits snugly aroundthe casing member 10 and is of greater length than the latter, a hinge pintle 17 being fixed in the hinge eyes 14 and passing freely through the hinge elcment 15 on the frame 16.

Projecting from opposite ends of the frame member 16 are integral ears 19 which have apertures 2O therein to receive the shackles of padlocks, while similar ears 21 and 21L having apertures 22 therein, are formed on the removed ends of the casing elements 10 and 10a the ears on the frame member registering with those on the casing member. The forward end of the bolt eX- tends beyond the front end of the frame member 16 and the bolt is here shown as formed with a notch 24 on lits outer face into which the edge of the end element of the frame member extends. The bolt is 5 adapted to be projected into the casing 10 to lock the door. To limit rearward move- No. 702,302. Renewed August 25, 1926.

ment of the bolt the casing 10a is formed with an extension in the form of a flat strap 27 which has an outturned end 28 against end of the bolt abuts when outward. The lock comprises a lever 30- pivoted at one end as at` 32 in a longitudinal slot 33 in the bolt 11 and having near its other end an Aoutturned catch 34 which en-` gages in a suitable socket in the casing element 10@ the lever being normally held in locking position by a spring 35 fixed lat one end to the bolt andv bearing on thelever. The free end of this lever is lbeveled as at 36 to form a cam element which is adapted to `be engaged by a lip 3.7 on the hinge member 15 of the frame 16, this member 15 having a slot 38 therein through which the hinge pin 1? passes. To release the catch 34 from the casing member 10, the frame 16 mustbe swung outward a certain distance and then moved forward until the lip 37 engages the end of the lever 30 and depresses the latter. The bolt 11 is then freed and may then be retracted.

To effect the initial retracting movement of the bolt the ears 141 are grasped and the bolt pulled rearwardly, while the frame 16 is held in position with the member 37 engaged with the end of the lever 30, the frame and the bolt being moved backwardly as a unit. Then the bolt has been retracted sui'liciently to bring the catch 34 out istry with the socket in the casing element 1() further retraction of the bolt may be effected by pulling on the frame 16.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire-to protect by Letters Patentof the United Statesis as follows: y

1. A lock comprising a casing element, a bolt slidable therein, a frame hinged to the rear end of said bolt and adapted to surround the casing ears on said frame and said casing adapted to receive the shackles of padlocks.

2. A lock comprising a casing element adapted for mounting on a door, a bolt slidable therein, a keeper element adapted for mounting on a door frame, a frame hinged of regelement, and 'registering' to the rear end of said bolt and adapted to surround the casing and keeper element, and registering ears on said frame and said casing adapted to receive the shackles of padlocks7 the bolt having a notch therein near its forward end in which the end element of the said frame engages.

3. A lock comprising a casing element adapted for mounting on a door7 a bolt slidable therein, a keeper element adapted for mounting on a door trame, a lrame hinged to the rear end of said bolt and adapted to surround the casing and keeper element, and registering ears on said frame and said casing adapted to receive the shackles of padlocks, and a tail-piece projecting rearwardly from said casing and forming an abutment to limit rearward movement of said bolt.

4:. A lock comprising a casing element adapted for mounting on a door, a bolt slidable therein, a keeper element adapted tor mounting on a door trame, a frame hinged to the rear end ot said bolt and adapted to surround the casing and keeper element, and registering ears on said frame and said casing adapted to receive the shackles ot padlocks, and a concealed locking element holding said bolt against movement in said casing, said locking element being adapted for release by manipulation of said frame.

5. A lock comprising a casing element adapted for mounting on a door, a bolt slidable therein7 a keeper element adapted for mounting on a door frame, a trame hinged to the rear end of said bolt and adapted to surround the casing and keeper element, and registering ears on said trame and said casing adapted to receive the .shackles of padlocks, and a concealed locking element holding said bolt against movement in said casing, said locking element being adapted for release by manipulation of said frame, and comprising a lever having a catch thereon adapted to engage the bolt.

6. A lock comprising a casing element adapted for mounting on a door, a bolt slidable therein, a keeper element adapted for mounting on a door trame, a frame hinged to the rear end oi" said bolt and adapted to surround the casing and keeper element, and registering ears on said frame and said casing adapted to receive the shackles ot pad locks7 a lever tulcrumed at one end in a slot in said bolt7 a catch on the lever adapted to engage the said easing, a slotted hinge ear on said frame? and a lip on said hinge ear adapted to engage the said lever to release tie said catch.

ln testimony whereof' I have affixed my signature.
